Hi Everyone,It had been a while since Crist and Moses (the young man to the right in the picture - the village doctor's son) have gone shopping for medical supplies. Some dear friends in Illinois provided the funds for this shopping trip and they were needed badly. A mattress was also purchased with plastic on the top which enables them to wash it down more easily when a patient leaves. They don't use bed linens so having a washable top is better for everyone. We're hoping also soon to be able to begin work on a pit latrine for the doctor's compound. I think I've shared before that all who live there use the bushes to go to the bathroom (even the patients). We're planning on having some hygiene lessons once the pit latrine is built so that the villagers will see the need for it. Sometimes "doing what you've always done" is so much easier - even though a newer and better way is right before you.
We pray that all will see Jesus in these acts of love.
"Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us." Ephesians 3:20
In-joy,
Eileen and Crist
